I am loving the fall weather!

Trevor and I enjoy fall. I don't know if I would say it is my favorite season because I think I am kinda partial to summer but it is a close second. Trevor proposed to me in October of '04 :). We haven't been able to get to our favorite festivals this year due to conflicts. We missed the Potato festival and Xenia Old Fashioned Days was canceled. We did make it to the street fair and I bought a cute hat.

I do so love these things about fall, the colors especially in the mountains of NEPA, the pumpkins (the decor and the food items) and Halloween Haunt at Kings Island. They fill the park with fog machines and people walking around appear to just come out of the fog, it is creepy. And the park is open until 1:00am which makes for a fun and exhilarating ride on "The Beast" the longest wooden roller coaster in the world. It goes through the woods and through underground tunnels so its pitch black.

I am currently reading a series of books by Steig Larsson. He wrote a trilogy and its the only thing he wrote, he died after turning in the manuscripts. Since he turned them in they have been translated to English from Swedish. They are interesting. I always enjoy learning about other cultures from foreign films and now I doing the same thing through these books. The first one is "The girl with the dragon tattoo" and I am on the second one called "The girl who played with fire" they are nail biters for sure.
